DESCRIPTION:Murder\, blood\, revenge. Endless. Agamemnon sacrifices his dau
ghter Iphigenia\, his wife Klytaimnestra kills him and is murdered by her
own son. Only a goddess can stop the spiral of violence. Is this really th
e founding myth of Western civilization? Swiss director Milo Rau\, winner
of many awards\, has his doubts. In Orest in Mossul he combines ancient hi
story with our current political conflicts. He asks: How can fundamentalis
t warriors be integrated into society today? Can this succeed?\n\n$$What d
istinguishes Orest in Mossul from other Oresteia stagings?$$\n\nMilo Rau:
Our international ensemble and our view on the topic. In 2016 I was in nor
thern Iraq in the completely destroyed city of Sinjar. It was like being i
n a TV picture and a classic epic at the same time. Then the idea arose to
adapt Aeschylus‘ antique Oresteia for our time. $How can the divided part
ies live peacefully together again in the Syrian-Iraqi civil war?$ This is
the old question of mankind: how can an offence be atoned for without new
violence being provoked again.\n\n$$Do you see a solution?$$\n\nMilo Rau:
With Aeschylus\, only the goddess Athena can stop the violence: she offer
s the goddesses of revenge a place in society. Inclusion instead of exclus
ion. Hugs instead of hatred. But what do we do with jihadists when the ISI
S is over and they return to their Iraqi villages (or to Europe)? There ar
e warriors all over the world who return home from wars. How can they be '
civilized' again?\n\n$$How is the performance created?$$\n\nMilo Rau: We r
ehearse in several phases. One part of the project will also be in Mossul
in Iraq: in a barracks of Peshmerga in Kurdistan\, in cooperation with loc
al fighters\, poets and inhabitants. Filming from there will also be part
of the performance.
